forever deep and strong

her eyes sell a depth
that swims in itself
it buys dangerousness

lingers permanently
edgey and new

she alarms and excites
with her bold self
she demonstrates
no fear...true spirit
free and alive

"uh oh" some say

"cultivate that!" say others

criminal-like bravery
leader-like staunch
laughs at warnings
belittles caution

she will be something
vast and wide and
this she will find
while searching
with freedom and passion
she will yearn
she will learn
she will turn

into a woman...
whose profit
she will earn
